We did NOT even drive the 5 to 6 miles on poorly maintained dirt road to ruin our Subaru. This was not detailed in the description when I made the reservation. Do not stay there unless you have a high clearance truck and want to go on a poorly maintained road. I would like a refund.

Fire pits not cleaned out, the pile of ash was unacceptable. The outhouses were very smelly as if not cleaned out in weeks or who knows how long? Besides that it’s a very nice campground. Whoever cleans out outhouses needs to stay on top of it. I’ve been to other campgrounds and they are very clean and deodorized

There was no level ground for our tent, so it wasn’t very comfortable. Also, there are too many campsites in that campground. It felt very crowded! The bathrooms were so clean! Thank you!

Campgrounds were nice and bathrooms super clean! I do think its time to build stairs or a better pathway to the reservoir, the current trail is pretty steep. Thank you.
